SEC filings
171
Stake 886,474 reported shares ≈ 0.0% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 4/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Sold 696,668 shares ($235.1M) — more than a tenth of the stake — in the last year -10/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 171 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q3 FY2026 Sep 2, 2026 Tan used the call to convert a strong quarter into a three-year commitment. AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion, more than tripled year on year, was the quarter; the news was that fiscal 2026 AI revenue will be $58 billion against a prior $56 billion, that fiscal 2027 is guided to approximately $115 billion, and that fiscal 2028 has line of sight to $230 billion — each a doubling, and each, he insisted, backed by secured supply rather than hope. He then did something Broadcom rarely does and named the physics underneath: six XPU customers, a gigawatt roadmap running customer by customer (Anthropic 1 GW in 2026 to 5 GW in 2027 to an incremental 10 GW in 2028; OpenAI 1.3 GW in 2027 to over 5 GW in 2028; Meta 3 GW through 2028), and Broadcom content of $20-30 billion per gigawatt. Pressed by analysts on whether $115 billion was conservative, he said demand exceeds the outlook and the constraint is supply and the customers' ability to deploy on time. The rest of the company barely moved: non-AI semiconductors $4.2 billion and guided to $4.3 billion, infrastructure software $8.8 billion guided to stabilise at $8.7 billion. He closed the AI section with the number the market took away — on target to exceed $30 of earnings per share in fiscal 2028. Read the call · 12 quotes →
